You can differentiate between a silver nickel and a regular nickel by checking the date on the coin. If the date is 1942-1945, it could be a silver nickel as those were made with silver during World War II. Regular nickels are made primarily of copper and nickel. You can also use a magnet to check - silver nickels are not magnetic, while regular nickels are.
The 1942-P Jefferson nickel is composed of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. This combination was introduced that year due to the demand for nickel during World War II.

No, the nickel minted in 1949 is not made of silver. Nickels produced by the U.S. Mint since 1946 have been composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Silver was removed from the composition during World War II due to its value for the war effort.

Many people believe that US nickels were once made from silver, like dimes and quarters were, however since its introduction in 1866 nearly all US nickels have been made of a copper-nickel alloy; hence the name "nickel". The nickel did briefly contain a small amount of silver during World War II because nickel was considered a "strategic metal". During this time it was composed of an alloy of copper, silver, and manganese.
No, but copper and nickel was. This is why we have 1943 steel Lincoln cents and the SILVER War Nickels of 1942 to 1945.
